May 12, 2021
Dr. Rick Carvalho
With a proliferation in new materials for aesthetic restorations in recent years, a certain amount of confusion has emerged around adhesive bonding methods for all-ceramic restorations.
In this episode of CDA Oasis Live, Dr. John O’Keefe invites Dr. Rick Carvalho to address this confusion and offer his advice to dentists on navigating bonding methods and protocols.
Here are the key takeaways from the conversation:
- There is a certain amount of confusion when it comes to the bonding methods for all-ceramic restorations. This is understandable given the recent introduction of new materials.
- Given that different materials require different approaches, it is recommended that dentists stick to certified materials and pay close attention to manufacturer’s instructions.
- It is important to communicate with your laboratory. The correlation between what you are doing chairside and what the lab has done prior to sending you the prosthesis can make a big difference to how you will proceed.
